Mr Banker is doing very well out of this. His brother is paying him lots of real money in
exchange for the fake money which he invented. So,
he decides to expand his business and do exactly the
same thing to as many people as he can.
He offers to lend people money (which he will ‘invent’
and conjure up out of nothing) in order to allow them
to buy whatever they want. We will skip the strawman
here and just focus on the actual transaction offered
by Mr Banker.
A house purchaser comes to Mr Banker, looking for a loan of £100,000.
This is a deal on which Mr Banker can’t lose no matter what happens,
so he will approve the deal unless he has some very, very good reason
for not doing so. After all, it’s not going to cost him anything and he
will be paid with real money gained through real work done by real
people. The deal is for 17% interest per year for 25 years. If the deal runs for the full 25
years, then the borrower may well pay back as much as £433,557 according to a
professional mortgage calculator result. That is, you pay back four times what you
borrowed, even though what you were given was fake money and what you pay back is
real work-backed money.
But, as Mr Government takes 80% of what you earn before you get to pay the mortgage,
you need to earn £2,167,785 in that 25 year period as Mr Government will take
£1,734,228 of it away from you in direct and hidden taxes. And to add insult to injury, Mr
Government will give a large chunk of that £1,734,228 and give it to his brother Mr
Banker in supposed payment of the (fake) “National Debt”. So, the house purchaser
pays several times the borrowed amount, using his real money.
It gets worse. Mr Banker and Mr Government make sure that not enough currency is
issued for people to be physically capable of paying the interest on their loans as there
just isn’t enough currency in the entire economy for that to be possible. This is another
cunning ploy. The people who earn most will not have a problem, but most people will
have great difficulty and will have very little left after paying their mortgage. The
slightest financial problem, such as losing a job, can put the average person in a
position where they can’t pay the amount demanded. When that happens, and it HAS to
happen in a substantial number of cases, then Mr Banker tries to take the property,
using some of his brother’s “statutes” (which are NOT law) to justify his theft. He may
even manage to send in bailiffs ahead of seizing the property, and seize many of the
house purchaser’s personal possessions as well.
What the house purchaser needs to remember is that the original “loan” was fake and
that Mr Banker never put up anything of value, the purchaser
was never told the real amount which he would have to repay, a
genuine contract was never drawn up, and in reality, it is not the
human borrower which is being asked for the repayment.
